270 attendees from many different churches, denominational, trans-denominational, independent, religious communities and associated bodies, and including the six Presidents.
The themes were ‘ I am with you always’ ( Matthew 28) with a focus on Churches Together in mission, and ‘Emmanuel’ God-with -us’; and the transforming presence of Christ in our churches (prayer, community, faith) and in our world (politics, economics, science). After two busy and discussion-filled days, the forum closed with Bible study, Luke 24 , the road to Emmaus and travelling, walking , talking and breaking bread together - an ongoing conversation.
Christine Jack attended from Churches Together in Harrogate and as a delegate from the Church of England.
